2 Tire problem

Failure Date: 06/28/2001

On 6-28-01 I was on I-75 going north. My tire unraveled on me. My husband and a state trooper put on a spare. My husband had my tires rotated 2 months before. I have had 3 flats and tire replacements on my car. I called Ford motor customer relations. Nick (800-392-3673) told me Ford has nothing to do with general tires. He transferred me to general tires (800-847-3349). Eileen at general took the complaint and gave me a file #38421. I agreed to go to belle tire to have the tire inspected. Eileen called belle tire. I took the tire to belle tire on 7-2-01. Darrell at belle tire (313-271-9400) called general tire. Jill at general told him a file should not have ever been made on my complaint and I should just take the tire back to where I got it. She was very abrupt and rude. I left.
